Eh, I don't think 6 QTs are enough to ensure at least 4 quanta in every element. I don't use max dims because, unless you're against someone with a lot of PC, you end up discarding them anyway. And even in those cases, with only 6 aether quanta, you can rarely pay for the full 6 dims. I had done -2 dials +1 dim +1 pillar, but I was still running out of aether so I replaced the dim with sundials instead.
Haha, sounds like a streak of bad luck. The only reason I posted this deck was because I went 4-0 against AI3
